New kitchen ideas

Since J and I have moved in our home (October 2009), we've done many renovations with the help of our wonderful family. I definitely need to do some before and after posts of our bathrooms because they have been the biggest accomplishment. Our next goal is to tackle the kitchen. We put in new counter tops over the summer and our next step is the back splash and repainting. My dad is the master at tiling (he's done a million projects at their house and in our bathrooms) and will hopefully be working on it with J soon. But before he gets started, we need to decided what we want. Thank you to Pinterest, I've had many ideas to look through!

Our kitchen counters look just like this, so I don't think I want the mini tiles. That may be too busy-looking.

Here are some of my favs! 

Minus the big square in the middle

Not crazy about the subway tile on the bottom, but like the light stone with the metal

Love the darker subway tile

Not sure if we could get away with using this--maybe too busy

That last one wouldn't line up in the middle, sorry!

So, what do you think?
